Problem with dual booting Linux and Windows 10 on my system (with intel optane).

Hello

 

I was trying to dual boot Linux and Windows 10 on a single 1 TB hard drive and my system also has intel optane memory.

I created some free space from my C drive for ubuntu. But in the installation type screen , it does not show any partition of my hard drive.

I read here [https://askubuntu.com/questions/999934/trouble-installing-ubuntu-for-dual-boot-along-with-win-10-the-installation-type?rq=1] that it has something to do with Intel RST.

 

Can this problem be solved if I disable my optane memory and afterwards proceed to dual boot?

Would I be able to boot into Ubuntu again if I enable optane again ?

Why go through all the hassle of dual boot with optane, which causes enough issues without dual boot, when you can run linux on your device?

Hello SShuk3, Thank you for contacting Intel® Technical Support. As we understand, you need assistance with your Intel® Optane™ Memory. If we infer correctly, please take into consideration the information below: • The usage of multiple OS when you are accelerating you HDD is not supported or validated by Intel® since you can experience unknown errors. • Based in the Frequently Asked Questions for Intel® Optane™ Memory (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024018/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html) Operating System What operating systems does Intel® Optane™ memory support when used for system acceleration? Intel® Optane™ memory requires Windows 10 64-bit to be used as a system accelerator. Is Linux* supported when using Intel® Optane™ memory for system acceleration? No, the accelerated SATA drive must be running Windows 10 64-bit. I intend to have multiple operating systems on my system across multiple drives.
